26. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION 

 

We derive our revenues, earnings and cash flows from the manufacture and sale of a wide variety of diversified organic chemical products. We have three operating segments, which are also our reportable segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products and Advanced Materials. We have organized our business and derived our operating segments around differences in product lines. 

 

The major products of each reportable operating segment are as follows:

 

Segment

    

Products

Polyurethanes

 

MDI, polyols, TPU and other polyurethane-related products

Performance Products

 

Performance amines, ethyleneamines and maleic anhydride

Advanced Materials

  Technologically-advanced epoxy, phenoxy, acrylic, polyurethane and acrylonitrile-butadiene-based polymer formulations; high performance thermoset resins, curing agents, toughening agents, and carbon nanomaterials

 

Sales between segments are generally recognized at external market prices and are eliminated in consolidation. We use adjusted EBITDA to measure the financial performance of our global business units and for reporting the results of our operating segments. This measure includes all operating items relating to the businesses. The adjusted EBITDA of operating segments excludes items that principally apply to our Company as a whole. The following schedules include revenues, significant segment expenses and adjusted EBITDA for each of our reportable operating segments (dollars in millions).

(1) A reconciliation of total reportable segments’ revenues to total consolidated revenues is provided in “Note 17. Revenue Recognition.”
(2) Variable direct costs primarily include raw materials, utilities and freight-related costs.
(3) Adjusted fixed costs primarily include personnel and maintenance costs at our manufacturing facilities, selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses, less depreciation and amortization and certain of the adjustments noted in footnote (5) below.
(4) Other segment items include other operating and non-operating income and expense items and foreign currency exchange effects, less certain of the adjustments noted in footnote (5) below.

(5)

We use segment adjusted EBITDA as the measure of each segment’s profit or loss. We believe that segment adjusted EBITDA more accurately reflects what our CODM, who has been determined to be our Chief Executive Officer, uses to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their financial performance. Segment adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income of Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate, before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and certain Corporate and other items, as well as eliminating the following adjustments: (a) business acquisition and integration expenses and purchase accounting inventory adjustments, net; (b) fair value adjustments to Venator investment, net and other tax matter adjustments; (c) certain legal and other settlements and related expenses; (d) loss on sale of business/assets; (e) loss on dissolution of subsidiaries; (f) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (g) restructuring, impairment, plant closing and transition costs; (h) (loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax; (i) certain nonrecurring information technology project implementation costs; (j) costs associated with the Albemarle Settlement, net; (k) income from transition services arrangements; and (l) plant incident remediation credits.

(6)

Corporate and other costs, net includes unallocated corporate overhead, unallocated foreign exchange gains and losses, LIFO inventory valuation reserve adjustments, nonoperating income and expense and gains and losses on the disposition of corporate assets.

(7) Certain legal and other settlements and related expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 includes approximately $10 million related to the settlement of a claim in connection with a commercial dispute.
(8) Loss on dissolution of subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2024 relates to the elimination and non-cash recognition of cumulative translation adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive loss due to the liquidation of certain subsidiaries.

(9)

Includes costs associated with transition activities relating primarily to our Corporate program to optimize our global approach to managed services in various information technology functions and our program to realign our cost structure in Europe.
